Empire State Immersive Experiences, or ESIE, is a free platform for the hosting of 360-degree images of places of note within New York State. ESIE is also a platform for the sharing of community spaces and stories through panoramic “tours” of linked images, complete with embedded audiovisual material to fully illustrate the context of the image. From virtual tours of libraries or museums to remote orientation for distant students, remote instruction to documentation of times past, the uses are only limited by your imagination.
